Having not previously scored this season,
the Chile international excelled with three
goals at the King Power Stadium, with Theo
Walcott and Olivier Giroud also finding the
net
The last unbeaten record of the Premier League season
fell on Saturday as Arsenal came away from the King
Power Stadium with a 4-1 victory over Leicester City,
Alexis Sanchez roaring back into form with a hat-trick.
Claudio Ranieri’s side took the lead early in the game
when Jamie Vardy was released down the left and fired
home from a narrow angle but Theo Walcott exploited
his pace to equalise just five minutes later.
Alexis finally scored his first goal of the season to see the
Gunners through to half-time with an advantage and the
Chilean followed up just short of the hour when he headed
in from Mesut Ozil’s cross.
The Arsenal forward then sealed his hat-trick in the 81st
minute, skipping inside a defender to shoot long and low
into the bottom corner from 25 yards.
There was a consolation for Leicester late in the day
when Vardy scored his second of the match, a curling
finish after Arsenal failed to properly clear the ball, but
there was no question that the Alexis-inspired visitors
were going to lose control of the result. That much was
confirmed when Olivier Giroud swept in a fifth for
Arsene Wenger’s men at the death.
